YouTube end screen CTA writer — 3 scripted variants per video

What it does

Most creators nail the video and then mumble something like 'anyway, subscribe if you want' while the end-screen cards load. This YouTube end screen CTA writer fixes the last 20 seconds. Give it the video topic, your primary goal (subscribe, watch next, or email/community signup), and your channel tone — it returns three scripted end-screen variants, each labeled by archetype (payoff bridge, open loop, direct ask, community frame, contrast hook) with second-by-second timing cues and card placement notes. It's built for creators under 50k subs who are uploading consistently but leaving session time on the table because the last 20 seconds are unscripted or copy-pasted from a previous video. Each script runs 50-62 words (the math for a natural ~2.5 words-per-second read), bridges from the video's final sentence rather than hard-cutting to promotion, and follows YouTube's actual end-screen mechanics: 20-second max overlay window, four-element limit, subscribe button + 1-2 video cards as the default. Layered CTAs put the secondary ask first and close on the primary — the counterintuitive sequencing that actually lifts click-through. Bundled with `cta-phrase-bank.md` (organized by goal and tone, with notes on which phrases earn the click and which ones read as cringe) and `end-screen-timing-guide.md` (technical constraints, card placement strategy by goal, the 5 most common mistakes). The skill references both before it writes — so when it tells you to put the watch-next card center and the subscribe button corner-left, that's grounded, not guessed.
